Gritty comeback to make this a great game go oilers!
Walman, the clown of game three, scored to give Edmonton the lead.
Aaaand there’s the crew again reminding us that his great uncle is Jake LaMotta. Drink.

I’m sorry, but sometimes goalies are given to much credit. Sometimes it’s more of a luck save or the goalie is beat and the shooter shoots the puck more into the goalie pads than than a save.

Can they stop with the overhead camera and behind the goal camera views… especially in ot.

Pickard deserves a two-four for that one.
Through 4 games…
Edmonton: 11 goals / 3 pp goals
Florida: 10 goals / 7 pp goals / 1 sh goals
@snowcool08 is correct Edmonton takes dumb penalties and their pk is pathetic. Though they have no problems scoring 5x5.

# Karma for that fraudulent 3rd goal not getting overturned & a penalty accessed to Verhaeghe! Best 2 of 3 starting Saturday!
Well in fairness to you that was their fourth period of hibernation in a row. I doubt anyone expected Edmonton to win the remainder of the game 5-1.Oilers can’t score 5x5, won’t stop taking penalties, and can’t kill a penalty. There may only be 5 more periods of hockey this season.
You were saying?
This did not age well.
In the locker room after the first, Florida must have felt like the game was over. The old "keep doing what you're doing" plan isn't going to cut it in the Stanley Cup.
Across the hall, the Oilers were angry and desperate. They knew going down 1-3 was probably going to finish them. They played like they had everything to lose.
Florida got a lucky bounce right to Reinhart's stick to tie it late, and it was a lucky deflection in OT that decided it.

Make sure you have a tissue for the video at the end. 🥺
Have the game on outside doing things at the same time and missed the Flo goal. Really think the pressure builds a little now on edm cuz going back to Florida down 3-2 isn’t favorable.
2-0 fla oh my

Edmonton likes to dig themselves into holes early. I concur, if they don’t win tonight I think Florida will slam the door on Tuesday.
What a play by Marchand! Unbelievable for a guy his age 37 years old, perfect rush off a center ice face-off, then bar down shot!
Panthers have literally gotten every break this series, blocked shot goes right on to Bennett stick, you can’t make this shit up! Panthers 2 Oilers 0 after one period.

It helped that the Edmonton defenseman had his head up his breezers. Nobody should get beat like that from a center ice faceoff.
It feels like Edmonton is barely hanging on every game. Tonight, they had a couple early chances they couldn't bury and have been chasing ever since. Florida's team defense is so good....
You’re certainly seeing what the loss of hyman has meant as this series has gone on

He's an emotional player, too, which is think rallies the team. Edmonton has had their PP chances and cant get a bounce.
Both teams look tired, sluggish and sloppy. Florida just got the early advantage and could sit back and play safe more.
with the flight after a late game, certainly wouldve been fine with an extra day off. You don’t use them early, but for the final I’d be good with it later in the series.
Marchand insane goal even better than his first
Marchand insane goal even better than his first
Again, as good as he's been playing, Edmonton played that comically, capped off by a very poor goal tending effort.
Edmonton is terrible defensively tonight at home.
I don't know what fans pay for tickets, but they didn't get their money's worth.
Florida's depth is going to get them another Cup. Now, how one team can afford that roster, I'm sure I have no idea.
Anything can obviously happen but this series is over imo.

Games gave been close enough it really hasn’t seemed to matter
that said, way more routes to win for Florida. Edmonton with their shorter bench really was hurt by the shorter layoff with the travel. They’ll be helped a ton by the extra day off and the desperation. Their goalie (I expect they’ll go back to skinner again as pickard was bad imo and the team energy was terrible) is going to decide if this goes 7

I think Oilers will go back to Stuart Skinner for G6 out of desperation, but even if Oilers find a way to win it, the pressure of 🇨🇦 team not winning the SC since 1993, 32 years is obviously suffocating the Oilers when they play at home…so Panthers wud still win G7
Paul Maurice (literally) must feel like he died and went to heaven coaching these guys after all those years in Peg!
This matchup is very much like a Gophers v Cows series, between team defense and goaltending (which... Bob hasn't had to do anything amazing for the most part) Florida has clearly been the more consistent team throughout. Bob making that nice save to start the game was huge, I kinda doubt Skinner makes that save.What a play by Marchand!

Every time I see Paul Maurice behind the bench, I see Poindexter.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Whoever wins tonight, wins the Cup. I see Edmonton winning a tight game tonight. If Edmonton wins tonight, they are not losing Game 7 in Edmonton. McDavid will have the game of a lifetime in Game 7 and Edmonton will win handily.

Someone behind the Panthers bench is looking for a little attention…who wears a hockey jersey tied around their waist? I have never seen that before…. And I guarantee you that front row in a building full of ice is not tank top weather. 😂
I’m not a detective but it looked cold.

Start polishing the cup with the white gloves.
Skinner is toast.
95% chance he’s on the bench for the third.

About as bad as fully tucking your jersey into your trousers.

I don’t see this ending well for Canadia. At least we’ll get another Gopher on the cup!
And I’ll finally have a lot more time in my evenings. 😂
Edmonton's defense has been so bad this series. Bouchard has been terrible and his partner is no better. It's hard to believe they made it this far.
The Oilers have such poor scoring depth and are missing Zach Hyman badly.
Losing Hyman was the end of the Oilers but Bouchard has been a non-factor
Florida the epitome of yoh make your own luck.
harder working, better defense, deeper, better goalie and they made the most of their opportunities when they had them. Deserving back to back. Feel for mcdavid and draisaitl to come so close back to back.

he’s been a factor in Florida scoring multiple times in each game it feels
Phil Pritchard has been the keeper of the Cup since 1988
Whoever wins tonight, wins the Cup. I see Edmonton winning a tight game tonight. If Edmonton wins tonight, they are not losing Game 7 in Edmonton. McDavid will have the game of a lifetime in Game 7 and Edmonton will win handily.
I guess Sam Reinhart had a different idea of having the of a lifetime.

From all told, depth. We see that in just about any sport. You can have the best player on the planet, but depth gets you titles. I'd rather have a bunch of "very goods" vs "1 great and a bunch of mediocres."Florida the epitome of yoh make your own luck.

Gotta be the most brutal closing minutes for edm. That’s gotta be hard to take
Bouchard has been a non-factor
He was a factor for Florida tonight.
Edmonton is basically McDavid and Draisaitl. Take those two off the score sheet, and they're pretty average. It didn't help Edmonton that their goaltenders just aren't that good.
